Donnegan! Pittsburgh!

Turn the kids loose.

Fascinating man, your friend...

and a brilliant bluff about those children.

Or was it a bluff?

They're still alive, aren't they?

- Where's this palace of Max's?

- Mexico City. We'll be there by nightfall.

Let's ride.

If this blue coat don't rile you,

Mr Trane, I'd like to ride along.

Can you think of a better man?

He won the war, didn't he?

- Suit yourself.

- The man's crazy about you.

Move along.

- My wallet!

- To you, seor, it is free.

It is useless to look for it now. In Mexico,

a thief disappears like a puff of smoke.

It's only cowhide, Ben.

Max'll buy you another.

It wasn't the wallet,

it's the sentiment. I had $12 in it!

- Old Max sure knows how to live.

- The fanciest lodge hall I ever seen!

- Hey, come on down here!

- What's at this end?

Aren't you going to join us, monsieur?

- The emperor built quite a palace.

- You know its history?

We had books in the South...

And one or two homes that once

might have stood beside all this.

Once?

There's nothin' ever destroyed

that can't be rebuilt.

Perhaps... if a man

wants to badly enough.

I didn't come down here for the ride.

Aw, come one, take just

a little bite! Come on!

- What do you suppose is wrong with her?

- Try approaching 'em downwind.

Oh, gentlemen.

May I present Captain Danette?

Monsieur Erin, Monsieur Trane.

You'll find something in common

with this gentleman.

As a soldier, he fought with

the American Confederate Army.

Then I feel we'll have little in common.

You see, I've never fought

with a losing side.

That's cos you ain't ever fought him!

He has you there, Captain, I assure you.

Excuse me. The captain will

take care of your needs from now on.

Tell Max we're waitin'!

Your acquaintance with

etiquette amazes me, monsieur.

I had no idea you knew

which hand to use.

When I was no higher than

a hound dog's tail on point,

I had a little tin soldier, about so high.

And one day I lost him... and I cried.

My mother said "Stop bawlin'. Someday

that soldier's bound to show up."

And she was right.

You're back.

Joe! Over there!

Careful, monsieur. Some of the wine

is getting in your mouth.

Hello...

Hello!

Marie. You're looking

your loveliest this evening.

Thank you, Henri.

Mon cher Henri,

it's so nice to have you safely back.

The palace seemed empty without you.

Obviously your trip was successful.

Successful but... distasteful.

May I introduce Monsieur Erin, Monsieur

Trane? The Comtesse Marie Duvarre.

Enchante.

No wonder you was in

such a fire to get here.

Tous les Amricains, ils sont trs beaux.

- You are being complimented.

- Merci. Vous seriez belle n'importe o.

Monsieur, your French
